As the genome data that we study to potentially save lives grows at massive scale—our institute alone generating roughly 12 terabytes of data daily—human genomics is becoming increasingly reliant on the technology tools we use for computation and storage. Google Cloud allows us to conduct transformative research more rapidly and securely. This speed and security are foundational for scientific discovery today.

I wanted to better ensure we were using data correctly to become more agile, efficient, and customer-oriented. With a minimal number of people involved, we can very quickly transform an idea or thought process into a deliverable. Prior to Google Cloud Platform, bringing those ideas to fruition would have been impossible.

The cloud, if you do it right, can be a revolution. It can be transformational. Google Cloud has been exemplary in the 'how can we help you' approach and with understanding what we want to do and how to make what we want happen.

We have customer data, Google Ad Manager, Google Ads, YouTube, a broad range of social media, email marketing. We began to feel we had more data than we could handle. Now with the exceptional power of Google BigQuery, we can unlock the potential of that data and put it to use. The cost savings to our marketing are incalculable, but stretch into the millions of euros.

Our main priority is to shut down our on-premises infrastructure and take advantage of the benefits of the cloud. Google Cloud Platform and SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA will help us reduce our maintenance costs and improve our flexibility. I think we will spend less time continually upgrading our infrastructure and more time improving our productivity.

Google offers the same infrastructure that they use internally, and that gives us a lot of confidence. We have had no downtime or issues related to the back end since we've launched on Google Cloud Platform, and have had zero bugs reported from customers.

In keeping with our cloud-first strategy and digital transformation, we wanted to give our employees state-of-the-art collaboration tools. We knew that a global, cloud-based toolset would help change the way everyone in the company works and maximize the value we deliver to our customers.
